The French Revolution & Napoleonic Wars: A Timeline
Assignment 2: The French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars are very confusing, in an effort to clear up this confusion we will create an interactive timeline by creating a slideshow and embedding it into the Class Wiki!
  • The Timeline will have visual as well as written components.
  • Each student will choose three events, they will find an appropriate image to correspond with the event, and will provide a brief caption detailing the significance of this event.
  • A list of potential events has been generated, however you are free to choose any not listed if you can provide information on its importance.

Through the Course Moodle website you will be provided with resources for researching people, places and events pertaining to the assignment. The list of events will be posted there as well. As always, all rubrics, grades, assignments and miscellaneous items can be found in the class moodle. Fake Moodle
